  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Servings: 3-4

Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 wooden skewers
  • ¼ cup bottled teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger
  • 12 Alaska spot prawns, peeled, tail on

Preparation

  1. Step 1 Prepare the skewers

    Prior to grilling, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2 Glaze the prawns

    In small bowl, mix together the ginger, teriyaki sauce and vegetable oil. Skewer Alaska prawns, piercing through both the head and tail sections of each shrimp. Brush prawns with the glaze and place each skewer on a tray to rest for 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3 Grill the prawns

    Preheat grill or broiler/oven to medium-high heat. Coat grill or broiler pan with cooking spray.  Cover and grill each skewer for 3-4 minutes per side. Cook just until prawns turn pink and are opaque throughout.

    Fun fact: The word “teriyaki” is a combination of the Japanese words “teri” meaning “luster” and “yaki” meaning “grill” or “broil.” In a teriyaki dish, ingredients are cooked over high heat after being marinated in or basted by teriyaki sauce, which gives luster or shine to the food.
